When ShawX Manufacturing first unveiled the EjectX body at the 2018 Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo, it represented a breakthrough in truck body design. Now the newly released GEN3 EjectX is raising the bar once again, offering unprecedented improvements in safety, performance, and technology.
The GEN3 EjectX truck body is a whole new way to move materials.
Unlike traditional tipping bodies or walking floors that rely on gravity to unload, the EjectX uses a hydraulic ram and plough mechanism to push the materials out in a controlled manner, through the rear tailgate, which automatically lifts as the material is ejected.
This fixed horizontal design ensures that the EjectX body never tilts, offering a safer, more controlled unloading process in even the tightest of spaces.
The design of the EjectX addresses key safety concerns in the industry. By eliminating the tipping motion, which can be hazardous when working in uneven terrain or close proximity to overhead obstructions, the EjectX minimises risk and maximises site safety.
The low centre of gravity of the body also ensures that stability is maintained during unloading and travel, further enhancing overall safety.
Performance that speaks for itself
Performance is at the heart of the GEN3 EjectX, and it’s clear that ShawX has thought of everything to keep this system at the top of its class.
One of the standout features is the clean-out capability. As the plough pushes material along the body, a scraper ensures that the body is wiped clean of all material, preventing carry-back and reducing the need for post-job clean-ups. For operators looking to save time, this feature alone makes the EjectX a game-changer.
In terms of unloading speed, the EjectX outperforms other bodies in the market.
The large tailgate opening and hydraulic ejection system allow for quick discharge without relying on gravity, making it ideal for high-volume material movement.
Whether you’re unloading sand, dirt, rock, asphalt, or even demolition waste, the EjectX handles it all efficiently, even the most challenging materials like sticky asphalt or tough clay.
Low maintenance, low downtime
One of the most significant advantages of the EjectX body is its simplicity. With fewer moving parts—no conveyor belts, chains, or slats—the EjectX is easy to maintain and more reliable over time.
This reduction in moving parts translates to lower maintenance costs, less downtime, and a more efficient operation overall. Operators can focus on the job at hand rather than worrying about mechanical issues that could interrupt the workflow.
Additionally, the GEN3 EjectX features an intuitive in-cab control panel that allows the driver to operate the system with ease. With pre-loaded operating modes and built-in safety features, the control panel increases both safety and usability, reducing the likelihood of operator error.
Versatile across a wide range of materials
The EjectX is truly a one-size-fits-all solution for a wide variety of materials.
Whether it’s free-flowing materials like sand or gravel or more stubborn substances like sticky asphalt, demolition material, or rock, the EjectX is designed to handle it. Its hydraulic ram and plough mechanism ensure that materials are discharged evenly and efficiently, no matter how difficult they are to unload.
This versatility opens up new opportunities for contractors and operators in industries ranging from construction to road maintenance and beyond.
Increased safety
Safety is paramount in the construction and trucking industries, and the GEN3 EjectX delivers on this front.
In addition to its low centre of gravity, which helps maintain stability, the EjectX’s fixed horizontal design means that it doesn’t need to tip to unload.
This makes it ideal for use in areas where space is limited or in environments with overhead hazards or uneven ground. Operators can unload materials with enhanced visibility, improving ergonomics and reducing the risk of injury. Being able to control your discharge reduces the need for exclusion zones on site.
As more industries focus on safety and efficiency, the EjectX meets those needs head-on by reducing the risks associated with traditional tipping systems.
Its steady, controlled discharge of materials ensures a safer working environment, and the lack of tipping means fewer chances for accidents or unexpected load shifts.
A sustainable choice for the long haul
Beyond its performance and safety benefits, the GEN3 EjectX is also a smart investment in the long-term sustainability of operations.
The reduced need for maintenance, fewer mechanical failures, and the time saved on clean-up and downtime all contribute to a more cost-effective solution for hauling material.
When combined with the body’s impressive ability to unload a wide variety of materials without restrictions, the EjectX proves to be a reliable and profitable choice for operators who want to stay ahead of the competition.
